A Philadelphia police officer was shot multiple times in the arm at point blank range by a man who ambushed him as he sat in his marked police cruiser. Police Commissioner Richard Ross said the suspect fired a total of 13 shots that hit the officer and his car late Thursday. He said the officer returned fire, hitting his assailant at least three times. The suspect, 30-year-old Edward Archer, also pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group when he was questioned after his arrest in the shooting. Posted By Persist
